The vibrational instrument also suffers from a lack of a defined shear field, which makes it unsuited to measuring the viscosity of a fluid whose flow behaviour is not known beforehand. Vibrating viscometers are rugged industrial systems used to measure viscosity in the process condition. The active part of the sensor is a vibrating rod.
Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness ; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water . [ 2 ]
Viscotherms is a general name used to describe equipment for control of viscosity and temperature of a fluid, in particular of fuel oil in fuel viscosity control systems. [1] [2] The term originated from a brand name Viscotherm registered by VAF Instruments in 1971 and produced until 2009.
Lux meter for measuring illuminance, i.e. incident luminous flux per unit area; Luminance meter for measuring luminance, i.e. luminous flux per unit area and unit solid angle; Light meter, an instrument used to set photographic exposures. It can be either a lux meter (incident-light meter) or a luminance meter (reflected-light meter), and is ...
A Mooney viscometer MV 2000 Mooney Viscometer. A Mooney viscometer or rotating disk viscometer is an instrument used for measuring the Mooney viscosity of rubbers. [1] Invented in the 1930s by Melvin Mooney, [2] it contains a rotating spindle and heated dies, the substance encloses and overflows the spindle and the mooney viscosity is calculated from the torque on the spindle.
The viscosity of a non-Newtonian fluid is defined by a power law: [5] = ˙ where η is the viscosity after shear is applied, η 0 is the initial viscosity, γ is the shear rate, and if <, the fluid is shear thinning, >, the fluid is shear thickening,
Dynamic viscosity is a material property which describes the resistance of a fluid to shearing flows. It corresponds roughly to the intuitive notion of a fluid's 'thickness'. For instance, honey has a much higher viscosity than water. Viscosity is measured using a viscometer. Measured values span several orders of magnitude.
A rheometer is a laboratory device used to measure the way in which a viscous fluid (a liquid, suspension or slurry) flows in response to applied forces. It is used for those fluids which cannot be defined by a single value of viscosity and therefore require more parameters to be set and measured than is the case for a viscometer .
